Subliminal Projects is pleased to present, Visual Language: The Art of Protest, a group exhibition and survey of the symbiotic relationship
between art and activism, curated in Collaboration with Subliminal Projects and Coates & Scarry.
The historied alliance between art and protest, in its many manifestations, is rooted in the understanding that effective change begins with
a cultural shift. Visual Language: The Art of Protest, is an investigation of how art serves as a societal crux between dissent and action.
The exhibition features a selection of pivotal artists whose practice challenges systematic corruption imposed by those in power.
For the exhibition’s duration, 10% of all proceeds will be donated to Amnesty International, a global non-governmental organization focused on human rights, and Inner-City Arts, a Los Angeles-based educational space empowering children, teens, and the community through the transformational
power of art.
The exhibition opens Saturday, Feb 11th, 7-10 pm. Rsvp to rsvp@subliminalprojects.com to attend.
